Nice!

[Painy]

That's a lovely looking pair! Fnaaar

Is that actualy a split coil p-type pickup under the soapbar or is it just a humbucker in the p position?

[ras52]

Ooh, lovely P... what are the controls?

[eude]

Pure Filth!

[Merton]

It's a an ACG/East P Retro. So the first stack is volume/tone (active and passive tone); the second stack is more complex being a mid boost in one direction and a bass and treble boost in the other. There's also a pull for bright function and an active passive switch.

It's a real live split coil. A bit over-wound too so very punchy.

Also has a bass boost on the push/pull on the active stack. Pull bright on the volume/tone when in active mode. Four options regarding bass boost frequency plus level selected internally. Yes it is a split coil and in this case with Alnico magnets rather than the ceramic I normally use.

Lovely guitars ead and the ACG/East P Retro is a cracking active/passive pre-amp.

Thanks Alan, I forgot about the configurable bass boost thing.

[The-Ox]

Fantastic! With that P bass, does it go down as a standard spec or custom?

Would love to hear full treble on that!

[ead]

I started out as a Standard spec then I started asking for extras so it morphed into a sort of Custom/Standard hybrid. Picking ti up tomorrow so hopefully I'll get some quality bass time in the evening.

P type is glorious!

Are your multicoil pickups cermaic?

[ead]

Both basses now safely in my possession. Absolutely delighted with both of them, Alan has absolutely nailed the sounds I wanted (despite my medioce efforts trying to describe what I was after).

Graham, not sure about the multicoil pickups, there's a lot of info on the ACG website but I did see anything specific about magnets although I was skimming the text pretty quickly. In case you haven't seen it, here's the link: http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/basses/pickups/ just go down the page a bit.
